STAR (Science, Technology, Arts) Program at Rensselaer 2019

Rensselaer Admissions, in coordination with members of Rensselaer's Black and Latinx communities, invites academically talented under-represented seniors to apply to the STAR Program. The STAR Program allows high school seniors to experience life as a Rensselaer student. You will stay on campus, explore academics, tour campus, visit our laboratories, and connect with current Rensselaer students and faculty. 

The STAR Program is a one-night overnight experience. It begins Friday, October 25, 2019 and concludes Saturday, October 26, 2019, at the close of the Fall Open House.

A COPY OF YOUR HIGH SCHOOL TRANSCRIPT IS REQUIRED TO COMPLETE YOUR STAR APPLICATION. Be sure to upload a copy with your application before the extended deadline date of September 27, 2019. Students accepted to the program will receive a confirmation email from Rensselaer.

Limited travel assistance is available for students for whom the trip to Rensselaer would present a financial hardship. Requests for assistance MUST be made in the application below. Students accepted to participate in the STAR Program will receive a confirmation email from Rensselaer. Please do not schedule transportation to campus until you receive a confirmation email message with instructions to confirm your participation.

Be sure to check your spam trap and/or set your email messages from "Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (STAR@rpi.edu)" to insure that you receive all of our correspondence.
